Fifteen Nude Children Dancing

Cleveland Museum of Art

Fifteen nude children dancing by Heinrich Aldegrever. The image is a black and white drawing of 15 small, chubby, nude children. The children are standing in a horizontal line. The children are depicted with curly hair, and their bodies are rendered with detailed lines and shading. Their ages appear to range from toddler to pre-teen. The children are posed in various dance-like positions, with some holding hands or playing instruments. The two children on the left are playing a violin and recorder. The children are on a ground that appears uneven and textured. The background is dark and featureless. The image has a monogram in the top-right corner.
